all I need is some caffiene (coffee or mt.dew depending upon the temperature of the room), and headphones and loud music (disturbed is the best so far), this way I can listen to the music, focus on coding, and avoid distractions. This usually keeps me in "the zone" until either 1) The caffiene wears off, or 2) I have to pee.
Do many people truly use this technology? I understand many "geeks" use it, just for the cool factor, but I have yet to send email to someone who refuses to read/accept it because it was not PGP encrypted. I understand the use is for encrypting email and validating that it is, in fact, from the person who sent it...but really, does anyone use this for anything more than sending thier friends email that doesnt really need to be encrypted?
what is the motive for suing a search engine to remove your pages? isn't it practically free advertising? Also, could they win a suit against goole? I'm fairly certain that google mentions on the site, that to have your pages removed from thier DB, you jsut have to send them an email with your URL and asking to bt removed....isnt sueing jumping the gun a little bit?
The intent of my post was not to be about "beowolf clusters" but rather to entice the reader into thinking about many cloned einsteins solving many unanswered questions about the universe. the beowolf cluster analogy just seemed appropriate for the site, and an appropriate slang term for a group of items(people) processing data(theories). Sorry about the mis-communication.
But could you imagine managing a bunch of cloned einsteins?? This could be in interesting project, perhaps collectivly the beowolf cluster of einsteins could figure out many of the worlds perplexing questions =) anyways, thats my random thought for the day...
Wow, FINALLY we get to hear some good news about the tech market. When everyday you hear of more and more techies losing jobs, techs not being able to FIND jobs, kinda makes you lose hope in your profession. Its refreshing to hear people finally predicting a turnaround in the tech market. anyways, thats my little rant/2cent/whatever.
Waiter, can I get a lab-grown fish chunk, a side of Genetically enhanced tomatoes, with some lab-grown pigs feet, and and order of bug-resistant corn, and a diet coke. YUM. =)
Sorry,but in my opinion, if they don't allow developers access to the extranal web, they will definatly be hurting themselves. Developing a different style of work, I believe a person can not jsut sit down a develop code for eight hours straight w/out a break. Usually it takes time to get away from the code and "take a breather" and going back to the code to figure out what is wrong. Really, a "breather" would most likly reading your favorite new site or something (slashdot?), if you restrict access, you will have a bunch of annoyed developers roaming the building in search of the elusive "full coffee pot" . heh, okay, off my rant/troll/whatever you want to call it =)
I was jsut curious. I recently got a laptop with XP that *was* plagued with the problem. It was getting switched to PIO mode 4, which sucks up 100% of CPU time, it left me with VERY choppy dvd playback and pretty much unreliable cd reading. No I haven't tried linux on it, as I have a seperate linux box (funny, im beginning to dig microsoft XP after expecting to hate it....) Anyways to make a long story short, after much aggravation a patch fixed it.
p.s. - Note that XP has "Use DMA when Available"... therefore it does not ALWAYS use DMA. I wonder if the problem occurs in win98? I doubt it.
Is it just me, or does it seem like if the person writing the diary added "nick" or "inck" to the end of everything he would sound like "pitr" off off the UserFriendly comic strip?...just a thought =)
I think its funny how linux wants to be so "different" but yet tries to hard to resemble other platforms (apple via the acqua theme(s), windows via this and other windowish themes) anyways, thats my two cents. =)
Pardon my stupidity on the subject, but what exactly does an ANTI-hydrogen atom do? Is a particular application of this type of knowledge useable such as radioactive waste disposal or something? *clueless*
IS the really true? Rawhide dir shows rpms of the cvs version of kde. I suppose they are built for the next version of RH, but you can't really say redhat hates kde (why would they ship it then?)
Sad sad, they never had redhat packages, even beta 1 *still* doesn't have them... oh well, (the reason i am not installing the tarballs is because its beta, i dont want to clutter my FS if it doesnt work right. anyways, thats my 2 cents =)

Yes, unless its been GPL'd =)

They should evaluate programmers by the length of thier beards. =)
You see, its a battle of wills, and I'm the most stubborn individual on the planet and I will NOT be told how to use something in my possession
I see you own a gun, do NOT shoot yourself in the foot. =) hehe

Does anyone know if this mobo has the Problem where upon rebooting the IDE controller switches to PIO mode?
hehe, they are trying to get a monopoly in the "automatic turning off of your computer" buisness. =)
haha, Sounds like my old roomate! (yea, im still bitter lol)

I think slashdot is gonna "Jump the shark" on this one....

Dell is still installing Redhat on its servers/workstations.
here is a link.

I think the names of spammers should be released to the public...or at least thier personal email addresses, this way we can retailiate =)
Let them sue sony and microsoft, in the end can't they (IMMERSION) be held liable for hand injuries? Hand injury due to vibrating controllers
Why doesn't java fit the bill? *blinks*
